The Book of The Mist

Weird gets Weirder

Isabella

The boys really did end up staying the whole night, even after all Impossible, sorting through papers and photos full of strange words. They stayed quite though sharing glances at one another and mouthing words like 'tell them'. Maisy and Dany were ordering food while the rest of us continued to finish putting order back into the room. Everyone just walked around in silence like a house full of zombies in the walking dead. I had just finished putting the books back when a voice broke the silence startling me "Why these symbols its actually doing my head in" Charlie yelled in frustration throwing herself dramatically on the longer sofa where Wren and Kieran sat consequently laying over Wren. I couldn't help but agree with her though it was rather annoying not knowing what anything meant and having a massive memory gap. "I already told you what they mean but too why we have them I cannot help you" Ester throw a scrunched-up piece of paper at her from the other side of the room where she and Anthony sat putting papers in a folder we commandeered, In response Dany huffed from the single man chair by the edge of the living room and start of the kitchen. Maisy had grabbed the food from the delivery guys and started unpacking it on the island table while Arthur is cleaning up ash from the fire. Kristen walked up behind where I stood with a hot mug in his hand just entering the conversation "symbols what do you mean symbols" he questioned and by the looks of the guys faces they all wanted to know too sitting forward. I studied the girls, where they ready to let these people we hardly know into this chaos further but I guess they were already in it far enough. With almost a sigh I rolled my jumper sleeve up showing my forearm and sitting there was my Wiccan symbol for spirit irritated by the purple powder messily thrown on it. Hesitantly the girls and Wren pulled up their sleeves spasms of Green, Blue, Red, Yellow powders sat over and in the marks and then Wren.... wait PINK! "hold up Wren when did u get powdered" Maisy practically shouted from where she nearly dropped the Chinese food. He stared at it, shaking his head in a 'I have no idea' manner. " I don't know it wasn't there earlier today, Kieran took his arm up and gently touching it in order not to hurt him, his dark black hair with silver ends fell in front of grey eyes as he studied it. I could feel Kristen looking over my shoulder I could roughly see his curls of blonde hair that hanged in front of his eyes "so you all have one" Anthony asked brushing dark hair out of his now wide green eyes "don't you mean you all have one too" Arthur corrected his blue eyes ablaze like another puzzle piece fell into place. Kristen first lifted up his sleeve a little and on his wrist, is a symbol of something like a forked stick with white powder, Kieran had interlocking triangles with black powder, Arthur 3 diamonds put together with silver powder, Anthony had a line with two smaller coming off it and tilting up with gold powder in it and Wrens looked like a key with the new pink powder! "I know these symbols I found them in my research, their Nordic, Kristen's is protection, Kieran's Death, Arthur's Heavenly power, Anthony's wealth and Wren as we already worked out is Love but unfortunately I still don't know why we have them they must mean something" Ester rubbed her head Maisy came in with her food in hand "maybe there ingredients" she said looking down at her bowl I didn't like the idea of being put in a pot personally "seriously what on earth happened that night I mean this is far from normal now" Dany huffed in frustration though understandably, these new things happening and with no explanation was beginning to feel like a dream. "Hello, flying books nothing rings normal hear" Wren said from the sofa, "ok we need to retrace our steps and that begins at the party when did we leave they record it in the school log books don't they" I asked them Wren nodded "reception desk, bottom drawer, the key is the 3rd on the chain loop from the right" we looked at him odd "what Ester, Maisy and I wanted our phones back. At least now we had a plan to find out where we went, well a starting point at that, we find out when we left we find out where we went. We all sat around the fire and ate planning our move and from here on now our fates were twined. I looked at the people around me is this what happened to the teenagers in that photo all forced together in some strange way that could easily be mistaken for as fate or was something really after us. I looked out the patio doors as the rain tapped them with so many what if's filling my head.
